F ~: WbR 1::t1-1,+ WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON: THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1838. By the Packet-ship Cambridge, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday, in eighteen days, from New York, we have received the Journals of that city to the 2d instant, from which extracts will be found in another part of The Sun. The steam-ship Liverpool, was to sail from New York on the 6th, with the PRESIDENT'S Message, so that her arrival may be hourly expected. The news from the Canadas, is very satisfactory. Though the winter has set in with unusual severity, the rebels have not judged it prudent to raise again the standard of revolt in either of the provinces. What is perhaps more extraordinary still, M. PAPINEAU has seceded from the rebel refugees, and is employing all his in terest in the States to obtain a free pardon, with per mission to return to Montreal. The Journals attribute his penitence to the emptiness of his purse and the utter exhaustion of his credit. Patriotism can ill subsist without food even in the heart of the first Republic in the world. As M. PAPINEAU has publicly disap proved of the late outbreak, we should be well satisfied to see a pardon granted to him, subject to the condi tion of his never returning to the Canadas. There his presence can never be permitted without hazarding the recurrence of those dreadful calamities and crimes of which he was the chief instigator. The New York Morning Herald of the 28th of November has a long article, gravely charging the President of the United States with being privy to the late insurrection, and with withholding his procla mation till there was not a chance of success for the rebels in any quarter. It adds, that on the trial of the prisoners taken at Prescott disclosures will be made which will astound every honest citizen in the States. The intelligence from South America consists of ru mours which require authentication. We direct the attention of our commercial readers to the details published in another column, of the sud den stoppage of the Bank of Belgium. Our Corre spondent attributes this event to over-trading in Rail way Stock. We are happy, however, to learn the Bank is really solvent, so that the public is in little danger of sustaining any loss. There can be no reason, now that wheat may be im ported at a nominal duty, why prices should rise for the purposes of the importing speculators. The returns published to-day, however, mark the average of the six weeks 745. 6d.-Is. 6d. higher than last Thursday. At the same time, the average of the week ending last Friday, and published to-day, is 78s. 4d., or 2s. 10d. higher than last week. Since Friday prices have again risen, and we shall probably find the average next week will be 80s., or upwards. Such a price, with a gold currency and contracted paper, is equivalent, probably, to 110 s. of the war prices, and really marks a close approximation to famine. We shall speedily see this breaking out in the manners and morals of the people, and the coercion of a rural police, recommended by the Chronicle a few days ago, if it could be suddenly called into existence, would be insufficient to put a stop to the theft and incendiarism which already prevail in the agricultural districts. Then the utmost severity of the law will be called for, and the community will be required by the law-making landlords to transport and hang the half-starved victims of their rascally cupidity. We hear a great deal about the utility of an established Clergy in preserving and promoting morality, but we are wofully ignorant of the labours of the Clergy if they have ever yet denounced the atrocious crime committed by that Legislature of which the Bishops form'a part, and committed by it to give wealth to the Clergy—the crime of first dooming men to incipient starvation, and then of decreeing them to suffer death if they endeavour to help themselves. It is not a new discovery that the law, with its sangui nary provisions, its contaminating gaols, its monstrous system of transportation, its fictions, sham pleas, and favour to the rich, is the great parent of the crimes it pretends to repress, but it may be doubted whether any example exists which brings such an accusation so completely home to the law as this, which clearly creates a partial famine, and then decrees imprisonment, transportation, and death, against the inevitable con sequences of poverty and hunger. We are glad to see the Sabbath Saints busily at work pushing their un-Christian, their Jewish and Pagan doctrin es , f or the cultivatio n and increase of priestcraft and priestly power, to their proper conclu sions. It will not be long till the pleasure-loving citi zens will repent them sorely of the aid they have given to those who prefer MOSES to CHRIST. A memorial, we see, has been prepared at Edinburgh by Sir A. AGNEW, and numerously signed, of which thefdoiln-. fol lowing passages contain some useful information : " The generality of their fellow-citizens (they say) in E burgh, do not call for, nor send for their letters to the general Post-office on the Lord's Day. They are also assured th at the letters put into the Edinburgh Post-offices on that d ay . are comparatively few. • * • Seeing that in the interior of the Edinburgh Post-offi ce alone they understand there are upwards of seventy of their fellow men who, in point of fact, are authoritatively required to follow their ordinary labour on that day ; lamenting as they do this national breach of the Fourth Commandment, they cannot under present circumstances do less than humbly, yet earnestly implore, that no new measures, at least, may be adopted tending in the slightest degree to violate further the sanctity of the Sabbath." We learn from these quotations that the Scotch merchants and bankers, though keenly alive to their pecuniary interests, are not driven, by having a de livery of letters on Sunday, into secular occupations ; and the inference is, that the people of London might have the same advantage, without being more guilty, according to Sir ANDREW, than the inhabitants of Edinburgh. It would then be, as now, wholly volun `''' "."

It is not merely godless, it is actually a persecutor of the Saints, and we cannot conceive how those who en tertain Sir A. AGNEW'S opinions can stop short of revolting against a Government which constrains men to be guilty of this " breach of the fourth command ment." Nor can we conceive how Sir ANDREW and his friends, if they be sincere and consistent, can re frain from disavowing CHRIST, for he worked on the Sabbath, and refrain from rebelling against Nature, for she compels hundreds and thousands of men and women in this empire to violate the " Divine law" as interpreted by Sir ANDREW and his friends. They ought to resist every kind of secular occupation, and memorialise the Treasury to stop all the mail coaches, all railway trains, and the sailing of all ships, on the Sabbath. They ought also to procure a law, that when a ship is at sea, her sails shall be furled on Saturday night, and the steam blown out ; and, perhaps, while they are about it, they will ask for a legislative enactment to ensure a calm every Sunday, so that no lives may be lost by not " breaking the fourth commandment." Nay, it would be better still, for all but the Priests, for whose especial behoof the Swiday is made sacred from secular occupation, if Sir ANDREW could only procure an Act of Parlia ment to stop the course of Nature, between twelve o'clock on Saturday and Monday nights, though how they would then count the time, we pretend not to explain—or at least to make all men and women sleep right through the interval. If they can only accom plish this, the Sunday will be generally observed as they think it ought to be ; and they will deserve the name of despicable canting hypocrites, if they strive for any less complete cessation of labour. The Morning Post is, we see, prepared to carry out the doctrine of the Saints to a considerable extent, and in an article which we extract, has the following recommendation : " Why do not the religious people of the metropolis exert themselves, in conjunction with the religious portion of the inhabitants of our provincial towns, to secure for the Sabbath of the latter the same immunity from Post-office desecration and disturbance which London happily enjoys? In such exer tions we might recognise the character of wisdom, benevo lence, and genuine piety." No metropolitan Saint will, after this, ever write a letter which will reach his correspondent on Sunday, for otherwise, he will be just as instrumental in dese crating the Sunday, as the person who receives the letter. All the Sir ANDREW AGNEWS of the empire will act, we trust, on this suggestion, and memorialise the Treasury to shut up all the provincial Post-offices on Sunday. If no letters are to be delivered in any part of the country on that day, it will be of no use writing on the corresponding days, and the Saints' schemes, if they are consistent, will suppress, not one day's inter-communication in the week, but in some cases two, and others three. Perchance that may touch the pockets of some people, and when avarice comes into conflict with Saintship, the latter will go to the wall. But the poor Post, like others who halt between two opinions, has not pleased the Saints by its recommenda- Con, for it unfortunately added— " While in those which, whatever may be their design, are effectual ci.iefly to prevent the writiag of letters on the Fridays and Saturdays and the receipt of letters on the Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the greater part of England, we confess our inability to discover anything but an arbitrary and silly disposition to impede the useful and genial intercourse of corn merce, literature, and affection." Such an allusion roused the watchful piety of the Standard, to whose love of truth and morality, in turn, the Post bears the following testimony, having also proved that it bore false witness against the Post on the Sabbath question ; and both are examples of the conduct of the Saints : " Our readers may now judge what is the peculiarity which attends the veracity and the caution of the Standard. The plain matter of fact is this—our Contemporary said what was very ridiculous about Russian influence and the King of Holland's son. We laughed at our Contemporary, as we had a right to do—whereupon be becomes furiously angry, and asserts the things which are not !" As the Saints care nothing for truth, so they are regardless of Christianity. PAUL, the great Apostle of the Gentiles, in the Epistle to the Collossians, chap. ii., verse 16, expressly says " Let no man, therefore, judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a holiday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath day, which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of CHRIST"—who, as is well known, worked on the Sabbath. He did not sit still expounding the law, nor listening to it, but went about doing good ; so that, for violating the Mosaic Sabbath, which our Pharisees insist on making binding on us, the Jews, according to John, c. v., ♦erse 18, " sought the more to put him to death." If Sir ANDREW had lived in those days he would have been one of the foremost at the work of crucifixion, and the editor of the Standard would probably have been one of his right hand men. All our modern'Saints must have taken the same side ; for those who now bawl the loudest for the observance of Sunday in the name of Christ, prefer Moses and his sanguinary laws to the author of Christianity, A letter from Mr. CHILDS, of Bungay, appears in another part of our paper, to which we beg the attention of our readers. Men who, like JOHN JAMES, suffer for conscience sake, must not be treated with neglect, and we trust that Mr. CHILDS' example, in subscrib ing to defray the expenses incurred in that case, will be followed by others. We agree with our Correspondent, that the perse cuting spirit manifested by EBENEZER MORRIS, and others of his kidney, towards Dissenters, ought to be a warning to the latter not to become office-bearers in a Church to the worship of which they cannot con scientiously conform, and which has the power of punishing their nonconformity. A Dissenter cannot be compelled to undertake the office of Churchwarden, for, according to the celebrated decision of Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD, in the case of EVANS, con firmed by the House of Lords, " Dissent is established by law," and no Dissenter can be punished for re fusing to serve any office the duties of which involve compliance with the rites and ceremonies of the Church. Why, then, should a Dissenter .voluntarily undertake an office which cannot fail to be disagreeable, which may be made the instrument of his grievous oppression by an intolerent priesthood, and from which we doubt whether any benefit can ever be derived to the Dissenting cause ? It appears to us that, in all cases in which a Non-conformist is elected Church. warden, it would he more advantageous to the Dissen ters, and more prejudicial to the Church—particularly in the matter of Church-rates--if a liberal Churchman, on e on whom reliance can be placed in conflicts with the Est o ablishment, were pl ace d i n th a t o ffi ce . I t i s very desi ra bl e, too, that at all public meetings, where the two parties are arrayed against each other, such men as we have described should take the leading part against the unjust claims of the State-endowed Church. They cannot be suspected of the sinister motives hich are so often, and so unjustly imputed to the Dissenters by the defenders of priestcraft, while their e xample and their influence will draw over others to their side. Thereof the matter w hi ch bears ex clusively uponis th frequenters of th e Ch urch, and which anow the rvie it becomes them well to consider. One of the heinous offences for which the Churchwarden of Llanon was sent to prison by his parish minister, the worthy EBE.• NEZER MORRIS, was his not having provided the bread and wine for the communion service, although be had done all in his power to procure the necepAry THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1838. supplies for that purpose, by assembling theoVestry, who put a negative upon his demand. Now, if a Churchwarden can be made personally responsible for the acts of the parishioners at large, we think it is full time that the members of the Established Church, who, as such, are liable to serve the office, should look out for comfortable seats in the Dissenting Meeting Houses, before they are exposed to the perils of a dungeon for the nonfulfilment of impossible duties. Churchmen who, like the Vicar of Llanelly and Llanon, attempt to side rough shod over the principles of justice and mercy, may thus, perhaps, find that they have not been the best friends of the Establishment. We copy the observations which the Times of to day makes on its own case. In its strictures on the Judge and Sir JOHN CONROY, it overlooks, we think, the difference between the cases of the Duke of CUMBERLAND and of Mr. HARTSHORN, and its own. The calumny which they had to repel referred to a single transaction, and there could be no fear of a cross-examina tion subjecting them to more than ordinary in convenience. The purchase or possession of an estate is a different thing from committing a murder ; and though Sir JOHN CONROY could clearly prove, if examined in Court, that he had not purchased it with the money of the Duchess of KENT, he might be very unwilling to subject himself to a cross-examination as to how it became his. He might have purchased it by borrov; ed money. To clear the character of the two other individuals mentioned, involved no hateful inquisition into pri vate matters ; but to clear Sir JOHN CONROY, if he had gone into Court, might have involved such an inquisition. The difference between the nature of the calumny, then, warrants the different proceedings of which the Times, we think, unjustly complains. We say not one word in defence of the libel law, and in defence of criminal informations, which are totally unworthy of a free country. The Allgemeine Zeilung, received to-day, has a long article, evidently of Russian manufacture, attri buting the rebellious resistance of the Circassians to the presence of Mr. BELL in that country. This, we presume, is Russia's defence of her intrigues in France and the United States to foment a rebellion in the Cauadaa I The Paris Journals of Tuesday are filled with com ments upon the Royal Speech, although most of them begin with announcing that it contains nothing to call for any particular remark. The natural consequence has followed. We have throughout but the super addition of the dullest of dull commonplaces to a most commonplace speech. The Chambers met, but only to elect officers and appoint Committees. It was rumoured that M. PASSY would stand a good chance of being elected President of the Chamber of Depu ties, in the room of M. DUPIN. Should such be the case, Count MOLE and his colleagues must resign. From the Journal du Havre, we have received by the ship Turville, which arrived here yesterday, a letter from Port au Prince, deed 21st Oct.:—" The Griffin brig, of 20 guns, is at this moment at anchor in the road of Port au Prince. This ship which came to St. Domingo, at the same time as the Nereid frigate, served very actively in the naval expedition which was to support, if necessary, the demands of the French Commissioners. In the month of July last it was visited by the yellow fever, which carried off several of the crew, two midshipmen, and its second surgeon. At present the sanitary state of the vessel is good, but it may be feared that it may suffer further losses if it is not recalled before the winter. For the sake of the health of our seamen it were to be wished that our men of war might make but a short stay at St. Domingo, and that the squadron stationed in the Antilles might establish a service like that which was in vigour lately, for our intercourse with the Havannah and the Gulf of Mexico. The French merchants owe a great tribute of praise to M. Oliver, for the protection which he affords to their vessels ; and all captains of ships who visit St. Domingo will doubtless congratulate themselves on the intercourse they have had with the captain and officers of the Griffin.---Le Commerce.

At the sitting of the Chambers on the 10th, General ALAIX, in the absence of the new President of the Council, laid before them the line of policy which himself and his colleagues were desirous of adopting. He stated that they were con vinced that without union nothing could be done ; but that with it everything was practicable. It would be ne cessary in the first place to abolish the spirit of partizan ship in the Chambers, and to implore the Representatives of the nation to throw aside all distinctions in order to save the country. With a united Legislature himself and his colleagues would find in Spain ample resources for effectually tranquilising the nation. The Chambers responded to these patriotic sentiments with a burst of applause. M. PITA PIZARRO, the Minister of Finance, who followed General ALAIX, in the expo sition of some new financial arrangements, was like wise well received by the Deputies. General ALAIX is making vast preparations for the prosecution of the war in Arragon during the winter. Marmion Savage, Esq., has been appointed Clerk of the Privy Council, Dublin, vice M‘Kay, deceased. On Monday a Coroner's investigation was held before Mr. Stirling, at the Elephant and Castle, King's road,okfno\wv neS,dt found e P s d an a y e rna last.sa, c o on ffitjhne e si enp body ch ai t Ginger,oofr p a e fi fi p ee n ll e di es m e, aocl constable, s i h n tea fa b n l et morninglu 3n 7 evening stated that , en ingofWednesday d nes about d a a y last h quarter e before na. adsdeal oa ten o n lbox, i ' n cl o'clock i shaped,d t h like the okrep e a fields, near Gray's Inn-lane-road, phe a te n e d k w it hi u ls n t ,d e e r r o h ssg is in arm ab e o e u d t c tl ot e ffin m . idd F le ind o i f ng th i e t m wa p s ie n k a e il d ed u , looked round the field, but could discover no one. Subse quently took it to the station-house, where it was opened, and its contents discovered to be the body of a male child, quite naked, with the exception of a nightcap and a piece of an old torn petticoat. The doctor of the division examined it, and said there were no marks of violence about it ; but he could not state if it had been born alive or not. Ulti mately conveyed it to St. Pancras workhouse. Several of the Jury having expressed their convictio n that, from the appearance of the child, it had been placed in the coffin alive, as also that the umbilical cord had not been tied by a medical man, they were determined not to deliver a ver dict without a surgeon's evidence. Mr. Eastcott, the parish surgeon, was then sent for, and expressed his opinion that the child had been born alive ; but would not undertake to swear that such was the case without a post mortem exa mination. The Jury ultimately returned a verdict " That the deceased was found indecently exposed ; but how it came by its death there was no evidence to prove." One evening last week, shortly after the perform ance of Mr. Van Amburgh, and as the cages in which the animals are confined were being drawn to the back part of the stage, on which they are stationed during the day, Mr. C. Fenton, the Sub-Prompter, heedlessly turned his back to the den of the beasts, when the lion put out his paws through the bars and seized him by the back part of his head, and was in the act of drawing him to the cage, when his cries for help brought one of the keepers to his assist ance, and with difficulty he was rescued from the grasp of the beast. The destruction of Mr. C. Fenton would have been inevitable, had the lion succeeded in his attempt. The blood flowed copiously from the wounds inflicted on his head and face by the talons of the animal. Mr. Fenton was subsequently confined for several days to his bed, but is now happily recovered and enabled to resume his pro fessional duties. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date, from which we copy the following:— " To-day, at ten o'clock in the morning, a general report prevailed that the Belgian Bank had stopped payment; this news had a bad effect on the commercial affairs; several great transactions in coffee were immediately suspended ; numerous groups of persons assembled on the 'Change debating on the subject. It is expected that the stoppage will be only for a short time. " DUTCH FUNDS.—Amsterdam, Dec. 15.—Two-and-a- Half per Cents.. 54; Five per Cents., 1007-16; Spanish, 16f." LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEC. 19.—We have had an extensive demand for Cotton to-day; the transactions are esti mated at 12,000 bags, of which 6,000 American have been taken on speculation at an advance on last week's prices of fully Is. Brl. per lb. Since the stoppage of payment of the Belgian Bank a general mistrust has taken place amongst the merchants and landholders. Yesterday and to-day a great number of per sons proceeded to the other banks, which satisfied all their demands. We must inform the public that this Bank, which has stopped payment, is not the great Belgian Bank, which is called the Society General to Promote National Industry, which establishment is considered in Belgium what the Bank of England is considered with us. The Bank which stopped payment has only been established a few years, under the direction of M. De Brouckere. THE FUNDS.

It appeare d t h at the deceased had for some time been in a desponding state from want of success in business, and his melancholy had been much increased on finding, in one of the infamous publications now so numerous, a gross imputation cast upon his character and that of his family. The Jury having expressed themselves in strong terms on the subject of these publications, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." CANDLE -BURNING versus HAND-LOOM WEAV ING.—A few days ago, while a weaver was purchasing half a pound of candles in the shop of a neighbouring town, he made the following observation :—" I've got a warp which is a bit tender (imperfect). I'm paid not much over twopence halfpenny a yard for weaving it ; if I light a penny candle, it is just burnt out when I've woven a yard. Fine flour sowling, soap, and winding, take from me more than halfpenny a yard, besides other outgoings. While weaving, and trying to keep up with the candle, I am continually tempted to leave my work and go to bed, as the labour of two hours and a half is required ere I can addle (get) a penny ; but then the belly pinches." In 1 802-3, the price paid for the identical kind of work now described, was twenty-three pence per yard. Meal, flower, and potatoes, and even candles, were not higher during that winter than at present. Were even-handed justice doled out to the weaver, candles ought to be only one penny per lb., potatoes a penny farthing a score, meal five shillings, and flour nine shillings per load. But apart from the weaver and his privations, Corn-laws, the sole cause of our difficulties and commercial embarrassments, have, to so great an ex tent, crippled our sales and intercourse with other coun tries, whose inhabitants were, in former times, purchasers of hand-woven goods, that the manufacturer's profit, which was formerly as much as one shilling per yard, will now, in most instsnces, barely cover the expenses. Under these circumstances, when every Newspaper teems to overflowing with apprehensions of a struggle, the doubts and apprehen sions entertained or suggested by the interested must be dispelled by a repeal, and that instantly, of what are now appropriately termed " the d—l's laws." Certain it is, that if such expressions as " an awful crisis is at hand—a collision is inevitable," and equally alarming suggestions are employed to assail the minds of the people, they will gradually consent to try the reality and effects of hostile concussion. If it be desirable to prevent a catastrophe, why, then, we repeat, repeal the murderous enactions of " the enemies of mankind," viz., the Corn-laws. Since the commencement of the current sessions at the Central Criminal Court on Monday no fewer than 39 pris • oners have been sent for trial, a large proportion of whom are under eighteen years of age. With the ex ception of petty larcenies, the crime with which the largest number of these prisoners stand charged is robbery in their capacity of servants. The total number of pri soners for trial up to yesterday was 189, of whom 83 are under twenty years of age, and 72 between twenty and thirty. Only 10 of the accused have passed the age of forty. M. Charriere, surgical instrument maker, has, by an ingenious contrivance, converted the check-string of a carriage into a means of communicating to the coachman any order that may be wished to be given. The cord is formed of a flexible India-rubber tube, with a mouth-piece at one end, and the other in the s h ape o f t h e l ower orifice of a trumpet. The person in the carriage has only to pull this tube, which the coachman holds in his hands as an or dinary check-string, for him to apply his end of it to his ear, and an order may then be transmitted through the tube, which will be heard by the coachman even though it be uttered in the lowest whisper. A reply can be given to the master in the same way. To make the improvement quite complete, a similar tube should be adapted to the footman.—Paris Paper. The following advertisement having appeared in the daily papers—" Found—The wig and gown of a barrister unknown," the place of reference was next day blocked up with applicants answering the description.—Comic At manack. EXTRAORDINARY EVENT.--On Sunday morning last, a re markable circumstance occurred at Bradgate, near Rotherham. Whilst a boy was passing over an old well with a lighted candle, the foul air ignited, and, communi catirr, with a barn close by, the property of James Harris, of Rotherham, ironfounder, destroyed from 70 to 100 loads of wheat and other property, the whole of the value of from 2001. to 300/.—Manchester Guardian. At no period since the establishment of the iron works in Stourbridge, has tbo demand for iron been so great as at present. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. John Aylett and Henry Johnson, a man of colour, were in dicted for stealing a large quantity of plate, the property of Mr. Holland, Cornwall-terrace, Regent's-park. After evidence had been adduced, the Jury returned a ver dict of—Guilty. Sentence—Transportation for ten years. NEW COURT. DISCHARGF, BY PROCLAMATION.—At the opening of the Court, the Grand Jury having been discharged, the following prisoners were brought up and liberated by proclamation their bills having been ignored—John Slaney, Moses Martin, Ro bert Halliwell, Jane Lovell, Jane Brown, Eliza Smith, John Walkins, and Charlotte Palmer. COMMITTAL OF A FALSE WITNESS TO NEVVGATE FOR PER JURY.-Joseph Kelly, a little bny twelve years old, was in dicted for stealing a bag containing Gibs. of coffee, the pro perty of Samuel Grimmett. It appeared that the prisoner was in company with two other boys, who went to the prosecutor's shop to buy some sweetmeats, when one of them stole the coffee, and put it into a basket carried by the prisoner, who was pursued and over taken with it in his possession. The prisoner told the Court that he did not know it was stolen. COMMON SERGEANT—Have you any witnesses Prisoner—Yes, Sir. Michael Donovan then came forth and stated—l have known the prisoner all his life ; he has worked for me at times during the last five years, and down to within the last three months. lam quite sure of that. [lad he been convicted before, I must have known of it; such a thing could never have happened. COMMON SERGEANT—You are quite sure of all this? itness—Yes. COMMON SERGEANT—Then come into the body of the Court a little while. The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, he was again charged upon a second indictment, and evidence was adduced to prove, that on the 2d of last April the prisoner was con victed of breaking into the dwelling-house of a Mr. Sons, and stealing goods and chattels therein ; upon which, on account of his tender age, he was ordered to be kept to hard labour for three months. He was declared Guilty upon this indictment. COMMON SERGEANT-01'', Mr. Donovan, what say you to this? You have most deliberately sworn that the prisoner worked for you down to within the last three months, when you find he was in prison from the beginning of April to the end of June—you have committed wilful perjury—walk into the dock, Sir. The trembling witness was them conducted to Newgate. The Learned Judge said it would be a waste of words to address the prisoner, who had, perhaps, been led into crime by such fellows as the man who had appeared to give him a character. The judgment of the Court was that be be trans ported for Seven Years. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, DEC. 19. —Wind S. S.

Yesterday forenoon, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Prye, umbrella maker, Holborn-hill, occasioned through a defect in the gas-pipe. Information was sent to the Farringdon-street station, and in a few seconds the men and engines were in attendance, but it was with the utmost difficulty that the damage was confined to the shop. It appears that the screw of the counter gas-pipe had of late become very tight, and the sbopman was in the act of turning it round, with a lighted candle in his hand, when the plug fell out, and the explosion was so great that the man was thrown down with violence on the floor. The damage was but trifling. LITERATURE. HARE ON SPINAL DISEASE. Simphin and Marshall, London, I 838. A malady to which, as the author observes, delicate females are frequently liable, is ably discussed, and the proper remedies pointed out, in this volume, which is maw" festly the production of a professional man acquaititel with the disorder in all its forms. To render the treatise more intelligible, a variety of explanatory plates are introduced, in which the several stages of the malady are pourtrayed with much distinctness. The style of the treatise is simple and sententious, and unembarrassed by any of those technicalities in which works of this natur e so frequently abound, to the utter bewilderment of t" initiated. COMPOSED AT CORA LINN, IN SIGHT OF WALLACE'S TOWER. "—How Wallace fought for Scotland, left the name Of Wallace to be found, like a wild flower, All over his dear country; left the deeds Of Wallace, like a family of ghosts, To people the steep rocks and river banks, Her natural sanctuaries, with a local soul Of independence and stern liberty." Lord of the Vale astounding Flood I The dullest leaf in this thick wood Quakes—conscious of thy power ; The caves reply with hollow moan ; And vibrates to its central stone, Yon time-cemented Tower ! And yet how fair the rural scene For thou, 0 Clyde, hest ever been Beneficent as strong ; Pleased in refreshing dews to steep The little trembling flowers that peep Thy shelving rocks among. Hence all who love their country, love To look on thee—delight to rove Where they thy voice can hear; And to the Patriot-warrior's Shade, Lord of the Vale I to Heroes laid In dust, that voice is dear Along thy banks, at dead of night, Sweeps visibly the Wallace Wight ; Or stands in warlike vest, Aloft, beneath the Moon's pale beam, A Champion worthy of the Stream, Yon grey tower's living crest 1 But clouds and envious darkness hide A Form not doubtfully descried:— Their transient mission o'er, O say to what blind region flee These Shapes of awful phantasy? To what untrodden shore ? Less than divine command they spurn; But this we from the mountains learn, And this the valleys show, That never will they deign to hold Communion where the heart is cold To human weal and woe. The man of abject soul in vain Shall walk the Marathonian Plain ; Or thrid the shadowy gloom, That still invests the guardian Pass, Where stood, sublime, Leonidas Devoted to the tomb. Nor deem that it can aught avail For such to glide with oar or sail Beneath the piny wood, Where Tell once drew, by Uri's lake, His vengeful shafts—prepared to slake, Their thirst in tyrant's blood.
